Up to 10 police vehicles, 15 police officers and dogs stormed a house backing on to a stretch of Manchester Road between Linthwaite and Milnsbridge at around 11pm on Sunday.

It is thought they were looking for a suspect.

Bewildered residents reported seeing police “charging” up an alley by a house, “shouting armed police”, a man being led away in handcuffs and two police cars being moved to block the road at different points.

“About half the vehicles left at midnight and the other half were parked up till 1am just sat at the roadside with their lights off.

“I think they definitely have an obligation to inform residents what’s going on but I doubt they will.

”A woman said she saw police in the garden of her neighbour, who she believed was out at work at the time.

She alleged they broke in but thought they may have been looking for someone else as “the man who lives there is a really nice and quiet bloke.”

Commenting, she said: “After about 10 minutes police burst through his door.

“They brought him home from his work at about 2.30am.”She did not believe that he had then been arrested.

Another neighbour, Chris Thompson, spoke of his shock at witnessing the event.

“I was expecting a pizza delivery so opened the door to have a look outside”, he said.“I saw a policeman and he told me to go back inside.

“It was quite confusing.”A West Yorkshire Police spokesman confirmed the investigation, which formed part of ongoing enquiries, but said they could not expand on it.
